What is Unification Thought? As to the fundamental questions of the universe, there are two schools of thought: historical materialism and historical spiritualism. Therefore, Unification Thought has been systematized as a means to seek for an answer to the question and to resolve this problem. We should understand that this is a thought that was newly organized and systematized for a purpose of presenting a new world view and a new philosophy of life. (165-337)

Today, the trend of the world's thought is that the two ideologies, democracy and Communism, are crossing . Under the circumstances, people are in the standpoint where they cannot hope for anything or trust in anything. However, with a content that can critique this and present an alternative, Unification Thought can stand in the position that can show hope to all humanity from a higher level. Therefore, with this thought, we will transcend democracy and Communism. Even the barriers that cannot be overcome by democracy and Communism will be overcome by Unification Church members. (49-91)

Unification Thought came to present a dual mission: to awaken the world of religions and the world of thoughts globally for their unity. Unification Thought does not take a vague position. It is going towards the vertical direction centering on God. What is that vertical direction? It is the foundation of heart. (51-70

What will be the thought that can become the core of history, the core of the present, and the core of the future? In other words, what will be at the center of the worldwide thought that can become the historical fruit when viewing history, the center of the present era, when viewing the present, and the origin of the future, when viewing the future? It is a true man and a true woman. Then what is their view of life? It is to live a fruitful life for the world. The reason for the two to love each other is for the sake of the world, and the reason why they have children is also to create a motivation to love the world more deeply. Such is the ideal that we are now striving to realize. I am not sure whether you know such a content in detail, but as far as I know, when viewing the world both from horizontal and vertical perspectives, we arrive at a conclusion that history must be explained from such a standard. (25-147)

Where is the world going from now on? Communism is wrong, and so is democracy. Now the only home that we have is Godism. I started a dreamlike mission about 40 years ago. When looking back after working hard on it, I see myself standing on the summit of the world. People cannot make a foundation to accomplish a worldwide task unless they go through the Unification Church. The Republic of Korea must do it. Leader of education must do it. They appeared to be so inspired with a sense of righteousness, studying books and taking notes for five hours.

Whoever saw the scene, could not help but to be moved. Even if one's head was made out of raw steel, it had to be melted. If they are humans as we are, they respond to us. Father has been accomplishing a mission that no one could ever do in the past, despite countless persecutions on the cross throughout his life. There are three ideologies in the world: Communism, democracy, and Godism. Among those three, democracy is the right-wing, and therefore, it should be carried on the right side. On the other hand, since Communism is the left-wing, it should be carried by a left hand. If they are swung around, everything should be finished. Then, does Godism have such power to hold both democracy and Communism and swing them around once?

Rev. Moon does not have such power, but God does. Nevertheless, Rev. Moon's foundation is so strong that it cannot be separated from God as God is going around. (11/2/86)

In order to catch many thousands of fish at a time, you should throw a net, keeping it loosened until many of them flock together. Then you pull and roll the net. Such is Father's strategy. If you do it, all the fish inside the net are supposed to be pulled to God. Everyone is supposed to go to God. (4/3/83)

Father's idea is that if, centering on Unification Thought and the Unification Church, worldwide economy, worldwide mass communication, and worldwide universities are moved, the entire world will be moved as well. (196-257)

The confrontation between the Communist world and the free world is, in short, a confrontation of ideology. It is a confrontation of philosophy, and ultimately, a confrontation of ideology and thought. If God truly exists, atheism is a lie, and if God does not exist, materialism becomes the truth. Two ideologies, which have different views as to the existence of God cannot both be true. One of them will be false, leaving only one to be the truth. For this reason, we who believe in the existence of God should be able to see real evidence of His existence in our daily life and know Him as a God who cannot be defeated by the world. The ideology that denies the existence of God can be overcome only though a clear evidence that can prove His existence. Then, Communism will be destroyed on its fundamental basis. The movement that started with such a mission is the Unification Movement of the Unification Church. (10/8/82)

The Unification Movement that was initiated by the Unification Church attempts to bring solutions to the problems of the world and humanity. First, the Unification Movement is a movement that can bring an aggressive solution to the issues raised by Communism. For this to be done, the free world should first have a spiritual realization and repentance. Based on this spiritual realization and repentance, all solutions for the human problems will be derived. Second, the Unification Movement is a movement that attempts to establish a foothold through which all religions of the world can help each other and cooperate with one another. All religions of the world should be united as one power in the faith of God. The original mind of humans recognizes God, our Creator and the Father of all humanity. From attending one God as the Father of all humanity, one unified family can be realized. Third, the Unification Movement is a movement to build a moral world. This is rather important for today's youth. Since there has been no absolute standard of morality, immorality is prevalent. An avaricious and selfish lifestyle in which people seek their own self-interest, disregarding whatever happens to others, even using others for their own sake is encouraged and is rampant.

If this continues, our society shall not be able to avoid self-destruction. For the sake of building a world of goodness, the absolute standard of morality cannot be seen apart from the creator, God, based on His views on the right values, because He is the only one who is eternal and unchanging. He is not some conceptual God, but should dwell within us everyday. If all men and women of the world will be always living with God in communication with Him, there can be no immorality. This is a solemn truth. In front of truth, lies are dissolved, and even if the lies are supported by great political power, financial power, and social power, in the end, such power will not be able to overcome truth. Even though Communism is now powerful and influential, since it is not based on the truth, the day when Communism will be destroyed will arrive. (10/5/82)
